Over 600 exhibitors will take up 68,000 m<sup>2<\/sup> at the Johannesburg Expo Centre. Africa\u2019s premier trade fair for the mining and construction industry will attract both local and international visitors, the top five African countries, after South Africa, among the visitors in 2015 were: Zambia, Zimbabwe, Namibia, Mozambique and Botswana.<\/p>\n<p>According to Germany Trade &amp; Invest (GTAI), Germany\u00b4s economic development agency, the building sector is currently one of the most important mainstays in the economy of South Africa. This positive trend is being driven by different processes. E.\u2009g., the continuing shift of population away from rural areas into the cities is increasing demand for construction of multi-story residential accommodation. The transport infrastructure is also poised for further expansion. According to GTAI, by 2020 around 334 bn rand (about 22.7 bn \u20ac) is set to flow into this sector.<\/p>\n<p>Exhibitors at bauma CONEXPO AFRICA 2018 are seeing the shift in momentum. Quintin Booysen, Marketing and Sales Manager at PMSA \u2013 Pan Mixers South Africa \u2013 one of South Africa\u00b4s largest manufacturers of concrete brick, block and paving machinery, says: \u201cBusiness in precast concrete components is starting to recover this year: The bigger manufacturers are expanding and replacing their machinery in order to enhance their competitiveness in the future and to secure themselves a larger market share.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The recently ailing South African mining sector also seems to be turning a corner. The Chamber of Mines South Africa reported a 6\u2009% improvement in performance in the sector in the first quarter of 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016. And there are further signs of positive growth. South Africa is the world\u00b4s largest producer of platinum, and experts are predicting that there will be a shortfall in supplies of this precious metal from about the year 2020. According to GTAI, some mine operators are already planning investments in order to profit from this development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn all segments of the construction machinery and mining sector, bauma CONEXPO AFRICA presents the latest \u201chardware\u201d needed for business success,\u201d says Elaine Crewe, CEO of the trade-fair organizer BC Expo South Africa. She continues: \u201cTo get an all-round picture of the machinery and systems on display, it is important for visitors to the trade fair to see the equipment in action. To meet this need we will have two demonstration areas at the 2018 event.\u201d In her assessment, this further highlights the trade fair\u00b4s status as the most important sector event in Africa.
